The “ssh” server is disabled by default. You can enable the “ssh” server as follows: # chkconfig sshd on # /etc/init.d/sshd start Now you can login from a different machine using “ssh” and the IP address of your Virtual Machine. If you want to disable it you can use the reverse method: # /etc/init.d/sshd stop # chkconfig sshd off IMPORTANT: Before enabling the sshd server you should modify your root password for security reasons. In the “How to configure your sshd server to perform key-based authentication” section, you can find more information on how to increase the server security.
